We now have a fair amount of visibility into when the next release of NFA will happen. We have decided to call it NFA 5.5 Early Access and should be available around the 15th of June.
The features that this release will have are:
Major Features:
1. Support for netflow v9.
2. Support for Cisco NBAR.
3. Automatic scheduling and emailing of reports
4. Ability to associate IP address in Application Mapping (in addition to the Port-Protocol available now).
5. Grouping of interfaces and viewing traffic statistics on them
6. Reporting on ToS and TCP Flag.
Minor Features:
1. Configurable from address for alert emails
2. Configurable backup location for database backup
3. IP Groups sorted by name
Though we are in the final stages of development, we may still be in a position to take in small feature requests or bug fixes for this release. We would sure love to know if you have a request.
Please let us know if you would like to test drive the NFA 5.5 EA by sending a mail to support@netflowanalyzer.com so that we can inform you as soon as it is available.
Note: NFA 5.5 EA will not support migration from an earlier version. Migration, however, will definitely be available in NFA 5.5 General Release.
Note 2: The above plan and dates are targetted and there maybe minor changes due to various factors. 🙂
Thanks for your support
